Sony Reveal Event: Future of Gaming on PS5 [2020-06-11]

[Pete]

GT7 is about the only thing I cared for(though I'm only at the Tokyo game now) and they chose to show what looks like gt:s and unless I missed it, no release date. They should've shown something that made you think, hell yeah, this is gt:7.

They did show a Forza Horizon / Need for Speed Heat style overworld map, which may be their new progression system. GTS looks so good that I’d be happy with improved reflections, imperceptible LODs, a complete VR mode, and locked 1080p120 (see: VR mode) / 4k60 modes. And do something so the console doesn’t melt when playing with the menus. My Pro fan explodes at the daily races UI.

Timed console exclusive, so a pc version then too.

The graphics for Horizon 2 looked REALLY nice.

Probably the best of todays show, but it's not that big of a leap compared to their HZD on PS4. The UE5 demo is abit to blame for that i think.

But the games look indie, nothing there looked next gen, graphics is going back , right mods ? And my post is trolling and should be removed.

Ratchet and Clank looks nice, but I hope it doesn't focus so much on the world switching that it becomes too gimmicky.

I think it’s a fairly local teleport (a la X-Men’s Nightcrawler) rather than a world switch, but it does emphasize instant perspective shift. A fun grappling hook.

The version with the optical drive looks fugly as sin. Like it has a wart on it.

Let’s just say white isn’t its color.

Optical version definitely not stackable. I'm not even sure the digital version is stackable. Looks like they are both meant to be used vertically.

Well, nothing should be stacked *, but they did show one of them horizontal at the end.

* It sure looks like they just stacked the optical drive onto the digital edition. Yikes.

Horizone 2 looks insane, that's all. Nice show overall, I really liked Deathloop and Stray out of the ones I didn't expect

4k source:

thanks, yea 4K is so much better

Personally I think that the Leap is huge on HZD

yeah looked at the very least on par with the hellblade 2 trailer, with lush environments, lots of folliage, awesome water and clouds.

thanks, yea 4K is so much better

Still...too much compression

Horizon PS5 looked like a better looking Zero Dawn, really nice. And I dig the new robots. But Ratchet looked like something totally new. It was easily the most impressive game of the show, and I am not even a fan of either the gameplay nor the design.

Very disappointed by the Housemarque game, as expected. Another 3rd person story driven game that will have to compete against all the others similar games of the new console. I hope after this one they'll go back to their roots.

Yeah it looks amazing.

 

[Karamazov]

GT7 looked great, tracks are a lot more detailed, lots of trees, foliage, and raytraced reflections.
hope the VR version will look good too.

Just rewatched the trailer on 4K60.
In the beginning it's definitely world change, not local teleport. But they do have a ~2s transition zone between them.

 

[PSman1700]

Yeah they seem in the same leauge of graphics. Both have not shown any gameplay though

 

[Barrabas]

Good to see Sony keeps delivering. As a Battlefield fan, I was hoping for some there, but more to come later. I also understand the talks and doubt if Sony could mass produce that console. Looks like a piece of art. Now off to check the videos in 4K

 

[Globalisateur]

I was very impressed by the lighting of Gran Turismo 7 in the cockpit view. Very.

 

[Xbat]

Insomniac proving themselves once again at delivering top quality content in a timely fashion.
Horizon looked amazing watching the proper quality trailers so did Gran Turismo 7.

I'll have to rewatch it again in higher res.
Put your pro in the freezer.

OK, Horizon looked amazing, but if someone told me that Kena was all pre-rendered I would believe him.
Something about the image quality (DOF, AA, illumination) looks really good on this.
Maybe it's just the art direction that really caught my eye, but it was the first game that really impressed me.
